Police eventually arrested two of the suspects, both 13 years of age. They are facing four counts of mischief endangering life charges. One of the boys is also facing assault and assault of a peace officer charges.

The investigation is continuing regarding the third male suspect. Police indicate he has yet to be arrested.
